Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

So glad to have Stepchange beside me!

Where to start. Every representative who answers my every call was so helpful, calm and very supportive. They allowed me to be vulnerable, cry my eyes out and gave me an ear to talk about my circumstances unrelated to debt. I’m so happy that I will be supported right up until I’m debt free. One of my favourite charities. Also, the online portal is fab! Easy to use, organised which makes it visually pleasing as well as straightforward. Reviewed on: 18th May 2026

Stet Change Saved My Mental Health

5
When I came to StepChange a few years ago, I was in desperate need of help with my finances. Debt collectors were calling daily, and I didn't know where to turn. I tried using Citizens Advice, but found the process lengthy, requiring multiple visits with a folder full of letters. I discovered StepChange Debt Charity through the MoneySavingExpert website and decided to give them a call. After speaking with a very helpful advisor, I ended the call feeling a real sense of relief, a heavy weight lifted from my shoulders. If your are in a situation with your debts and not sure what to do, I encourage you to call StepChange Debt Charity. Reviewed on: 18th May 2026
